Screw that dumb show. I'm waiting to re-finance my house when the Babylon 5 Kickstarter happens.

Too bad Joss Whedon is Mr. Blockbuster now, or we might be seeing a Firefly Kickstarter.
Andreas Katsulas is dead, there can be no B5 KS.

Besides, unlike Firefly, where on earth could B5 go now? Actually, I wouldn't even want a Firefly one post Serenity - if you filled in all the info in Serenity over a couple of seasons, had the priest (the one character whose backstory is never explained, but is strongly hinted to have a high-level security clearance in the Alliance - note the sudden deferrance of the soldiers when he swipes his ID in the episode where they need an alliance med-unit - and is a better combatant than Mal/Jayne) slowly morph into the villain from Serenity, kept the Reavers mysterious until the last season...that might have been something worthwhile.
Similarly, B5 is done. More than done. They did the big war. They did the small civil war that was brewing during the big war. They did the after-effects of the big-war where the humour characters become the ultra-serious ones and get their moral comeuppance, long after they've taken back the desires that earned them that comeuppance. What could you possibly add apart from some fanboy shite of 'moar battles'.

*shivers* Fuck. Nevermind.
Unless a whole season can be kickstarted. Target: 15 million.
Maybe Larian would be more interested in bribing us, now that they have experienced the fools at RPGWatch

The whole G'Kar/Londo thing was the best characterization done in the whole show.
I enjoyed that Londo actor in Miami Vice.
$12.000 HookersDU, I think it's time for the stretch goals to appear.
$15.000 Blow
$20.000 Live stream of DU, hookers and blow

On the other hand. i think something interesting could be done with Farscape. that is if the original writing team can come up with something new for the show and some new characters. their last new characters wasn't that good IMO.

If there's one thing I've observed, is that the comics that continue prematurely finished/cult TV series, usually suck. The writers seem to go full retard when they move to the comic medium.

It kinda reminds me of the "full cinematic experience" games produced by game devs who really wanted to be film makers. They just don't seem to get that the mediums require quite different storytelling and crafting techniques.
Shepherd Book a villain? All I remember of him from Serenity is him living in some village and then dying during the attack, not sure where this villain thing fits. Plus, they already explained his backstory in some comic books. While I'd love to see some more of Firefly, I don't think it'd be possible, Kickstarter or not. Most of it's cast has already other projects and have you seen Nathan Fillion (Mal) lately? Guy is in his forties now and is like 30-40 pounds from Mal nowadays.
But, on the other hand, I recently finished playing The Walking Dead from Telltale and thought it could be interesting to see what they could pull off with Firefly franchise.

Too fucking busy living the good life. I'll be a miserable fuck in a couple days again, though.
I've actually prepared a provocative thread to campaign for a fundraiser with the intention of spam-summoning everyone, thinking DU wouldn't run a fundraiser but then he did.
I'll say this much: you owe to it to yourself to wipe that mark of RACE TRAITOR off of your face by supporting Torment. You retarded stupid lot threw thousands on a shitty consoltard dungeon hack when it is this game that you should all have been waiting for.
I'll support Torment regardless of the combat model because they have so far displayed a deep and sincere understanding of everything that made PS:T and its flaws too. I was initially vitriolic and skeptical but they have convinced me. Unlike an undecided faggot flipping back and forth who *cough*SAW*cough*yer typical consoltard design in combat admirable.
Though I'll still be a little disappointed if they go with 3D + RTwP.

He is right.
I honestly couldn't care less about how "right" he is. It's just utterly ironic.He is right.

I don't care about combat in RPGs. Nor does the Codex, actually. Fallout, Fallout 2, Arcanum and PST get praised to high heaven here yet they all have bad combat systems.
